Description of the invention (ί) Background of the invention Field of invention (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) The present invention generally relates to a suspension system for seat cushions for bicycles, especially one that provides height Seat cushion suspension system with shockproof characteristics, reliable design and low manufacturing cost. Explanation of related prior art 4 The standard of a typical low-cost bicycle includes a rigid support supported on a pair of wheels that are relatively small pneumatic tires. The lack of such a structure is that the bicycle cannot prevent the shock experienced when riding on an irregular road surface. This type of tire can generally only prevent very small vibrations. In this way, many of the vibrations experienced by the rider are directly transmitted to the rider, which makes the rider particularly uncomfortable when riding for a period of time. In addition, many recent cyclists are keen to use a mountain bike to ride in the wild. This kind of riding makes the situation generally contain very rough terrain, and the vibrations experienced by the rider may not be ignored. The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Central Bureau of Standards, Staff and Consumer Cooperatives has made many trials to improve the riding comfort of bicycles by adding various suspension systems to the design of bicycle frames. Such a system may include, for example, a shock-resistant rear suspension system including a pivoting rear brace or vibrating arm. However, this system is expensive to manufacture and adds considerable cost to the bicycle. As a result, it is generally the case that these systems are only used in expensive top bicycles. As a result, there is a need for consideration; the need to improve the comfort of relatively inexpensive or extremely low-end bicycles is mainly used to achieve the purpose of easy and pleasant riding. This paper scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS} A4 specification (210X297 mm) printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 301636 A7 _B7_ V. Description of the invention (2) Many vibrations experienced by bicycles ride through general support Most of the rider ’s weight is transferred to the rider ’s seat cushion. To improve the comfort of the ride, the seat cushion is designed to add padding. However, this padding hinders the movement of the thigh when the rider steps on the pedal. It is required to exert effort to the part of the rider. The form of the seat cushion suspension system is known in which the seat cushion is supported by a compression spring and is preferably mounted on a seat cushion tube of the bicycle frame. The compression spring Ability to absorb the shock transmitted to the seat cushion. These systems can effectively improve the comfort of riding. One such system is, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,044,648 issued on September 3, 1991, disclosed by Knapp. The pad suspension suspension unit is known to be missing due to the compression spring arrangement of a pad tube. Although these systems are cheaper than the rear frame, they are still very expensive for the structure and are only used for the price. The top bicycle or as an expensive repair parts market accessories. As such, the known system generally requires the use of expensive materials, specially customized parts and tight tolerance manufacturing technology. These can refer to the above mentioned Knapp The patent understands that the structure disclosed in this patent can be seen to contain a large amount of gold cutting, grinding and tapping operations to achieve a product that works together. Due to its high price, these systems are generally not used for relatively low The initial equipment manufacturing of pole bicycles. In addition, it is expected to provide a seat cushion suspension system for bicycles, and its manufacturing cost is low. This can be manufactured and applied to low pole bicycles. It is also desirable to provide such a system for bicycles Normal use raises the life to achieve satisfactory use efficiency and reliable design. Summary of the invention This paper scale is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (210X29 "?

Description of the invention (3) Provide a seat plastic suspension system for bicycles to solve the lack of prior art. The seat cushion suspension system includes an external general long hollow tube and a set of internal general long joints that are received in the external tube Hollow tube. The ball sleeve bearing seat ring is set in the inner and outer tubes in the form of K-gold. The ball bearing is provided in the seat ring. The inner tube has an inner end with a sleeve K. The sleeve slides It is set in the outer tube. A compression spring is set between the inner end of the inner tube and a blocking tip extending through the outer tube. The bearing and sleeve cooperate K to allow the longitudinal movement of the inner tube in the outer tube but prevent the inner and outer tubes Relative lateral and rotational movements. With this structure, a pad suspension system can be constructed of materials prepared from standard gills and does not require expensive manufacturing steps. • Will still provide an efficient and reliable product. The drawings briefly illustrate the above and other novel features and advantages of the present invention, which will be better understood by reading the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: The first picture is a bicycle seat according to the principles of the present invention The side cross-sectional view of the cushion suspension system; the second figure is the end view of the outer tube of the suspension system; the third figure is the schematic cross-sectional view at 2-3 in the second figure; the fourth figure is this The side view of the inner tube of the suspension system assembly; the fifth picture is a schematic cross-sectional view at 5-5 in the fourth; the sixth picture is an end view of the forming die constituting the assembly; the seventh picture is the sixth picture The side cross-sectional view of the forming mold at 6-6 in the middle; and the paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297mm) (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) ". • Install-- ---- Ordered ----- ^ The A7 B7 invention description printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs) The eighth figure is a side view of the spring insertion tool used for the assembly structure. For a detailed description, refer now to the drawings, and first refer to the first picture. The vehicle seat suspension system represented in the form of a composition, generally by the reference numeral 1 billion next table. The assembly 10 includes its primary components-an external, generally elongated hollow tube 12 and an internally elongated hollow tube 14. Both long tubes 12 and 14 are preferably circular in cross-section and composed of welded seam mesh tubes in the known art. Of course, the use of tubeless tubes and various metal alloy materials is also possible. As best seen in the first to third figures, the outer tube 12 will form a pair of longitudinally opposed ball sleeve bearing rings 16 at its upper end 19 as described below. The inner tube 14 also forms a pair of complementary The seat ring 1 8. Ball bearings 20 are provided in the races 16 and 18. Although there are five ball bearings 20 in each pair of races 16 and 18 shown in the first figure, the invention does not limit any particular number of ball bearings. Also, although two pairs of opposing races 16 and 18 are shown *, the assembly 10 may have additional races if desired. Referring to the first and fourth figures, it can be seen that the inner tube 14 includes a lower neck end 22. An annular nylon sleeve 24 is mounted on the end 22 and is secured by a lateral tip 26. A compression spring 28 abuts the lower end 22 of the inner tube 14 and is held in the outer tube 12 by a lateral blocking pin 30. The sleeve 24 extends beyond the lower end 22 of the inner tube 14 to provide a groove 3 -7- This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (210Χ297 公 嫠) ------- L丨 _ {-装 ------ 訂 ----- ί. Line (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) A7 B7 printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ) 1K for keeping the spring 28 aligned with the pipe end 22. The other end 32 of the inner tube 14 is provided with a circular bead 34 and an elongate bead 36. The end portion 32 is received by a suitable jig (not shown) of a bicycle seat cushion assembly, whereby the beads 34 and 36 position the seat cushion with K Yidang. The end portion 32 can also be provided with a complete fixture (not shown) by a method known in the prior art. The structure of the suspension system assembly 10 can be shown by first forming a tube 12 with a seat ring 16 A suitable mandrel can be easily achieved by pressing the mandrel into the end of the outer tube 12. Along with this, the inner tube 14 is formed with a thin chess and mandrel to include the seat ring 18, the necked end 22, and the beads 34 and 36. The inner tube 14 mounted on the sleeve 24 is then inserted into the outer tube 12 and the ball sleeve 20 is placed into the seat ring 16 and 18. Also according to the present invention, for example, as shown in the sixth and seventh figures The thin mold 40 is placed on the long tubes 12 and 14 and is forced against the outer tube seat ring 16, and the closing groove 42 of the insert 40 blocks and closes the end of the seat ring 16 to form The rounded end 44 shown in the first figure. After this operation, the long tubes 12 and 14 are prevented from being separated and the ball bearing 20 is restricted within the races 16 and 18. Furthermore, the spring 28 is inserted and compressed by a suitable tool 46 as shown in the eighth figure. The tool 46 has tines 48 and its sentry spring 28 but allows the positioning pin 30 to be inserted to hold the spring 28 in this position. A suitable accordion-shaped rubber sleeve (not shown) can be installed between the long tubes 12 and 14 to protect the internal composition of the assembly 10 from contamination by water or external substances. The assembly 10 is then clamped to the bicycle at this position (please read the precautions on the back and then fill out this page) 丨 installation.

Description of Invention (έ) In the frame of the seat cushion tube, the seat cushion can be installed thereafter. In the structure of the inner and outer tubes 12 and 14, it is best to heat-treat or harden the bearing races 16 and 18, which is currently satisfactory during normal use of the assembly 10. Withstands external forces. The pipes 12 and 14 can also be chrome plated to enhance the hardness of the seat rings 16 and 18. Since the seat tube of a general bicycle frame usually forms an angle with the horizontal angle of 69 to 74 degrees, a lateral resultant force that cannot be ignored can act on the bearing 20. By this, the seat rings 16 and 18, if properly hardened, will have a longer service life. Also, preferably, as shown in the third figure, the outer tube may be provided with a set of small holes 50 for selectively receiving the blocking tip 30 at one of several longitudinal positions. In this way, the spring 28 can be preloaded to any of several degrees so that the assembly 10 can be adjusted to different resets according to the rider. It can now be understood that the seat cushion suspension system 10 of the present invention provides a highly economical component that is very different from the prior art device. The assembly 10 is constructed by relatively low-cost gold-and-bronze forming techniques such as pressing and forging. This is very different from the prior art components made by machining and metal-cutting operations such as grinding, cutting and tapping. Also, the module 10 need not be manufactured with a tight tolerance. For example, the inner tube may have any suitable inner or outer diameter, as long as it can be received in the outer tube 12 in a nested manner and the bearing race 18 and tube end 22 can be properly formed. It is also due to nylon Cannula 24 Yike to Huai and fixed inner tube 1 4. In addition, both positioning tips 26 and 30 can be in the form of known expandable spring rolling tips and the small holes through which they pass need not maintain tight tolerances. Even further, because Xu Guo's bearing 20 is too loose after assembly, the IJ II -I n IIL i II (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page). CNS) A4 size (210X297mm) A7 _B7_ printed by Employee Consumer Cooperative of Central Central Bureau of Economics of the Ministry of Economy V. Description of invention (Γ)) The outer tube 12 can be easily formed into an oval shape (such as a vise) K Sleeve bearing 2 0 * The seat rings 16 and 18 do not need to form tight tolerances. Also, if they are too tight, the bearing 20 can be relaxed. Another practical feature of the assembly 10 is that, as disclosed, only a simple thin mold 40 M is required to bend the closed sleeve 16. This structure is satisfactory for accommodating the assembly 10 together and does not require tapping the outer tube and using some types of end caps as is known in the art. Furthermore, the sleeve 24 does not withstand sufficient lateral forces, and it can be made of relatively low-priced materials such as nylon, unlike other systems known in the art. In addition, since the sleeve does not perform any knot function as in the prior art system, it can be a simple ring-shaped member and does not have a complicated shape. A coil spring 28 replaces the use of the known rubber diffuser, allowing the use of a simple tip 30 to keep the spring 28 in position. Tips generally cannot support rubber springs in a satisfactory manner. In addition, the adjustable spring 28 preload feature does not require a known complex machine and is achieved only by the use of the positioning of the positioning pin 30. It can also be understood that although the assembly 10 is relatively simple, it has high efficiency and stable performance. The tight switches of the sleeves 12 and 14 only prevent the bicycle seat cushion from twisting undesirably in use by the bearing 20, and do not require an inner tube of a special shape. In addition, in fact, contrary to the integral grinding shown, the outer pressure of the bearing race 16 to the outer tube 12 allows the inner tube 14 to have a relatively large diameter. It contributes to the strength and hardness of the inner tube and thereby avoids the use of a heavier, mechanical solid rod or the like. Another important feature of the present invention is the bead 36 of the inner tube end 32.

Description of the invention (孓) The bead is positioned to align with one of the seat rings 1 8 of the inner tube 1 4 In this case, the bead edge 36 will cooperate with the stacking quasi-groove of the conventional bicycle seat cushion fixture to face the assembly 10 only in one direction to accurately position the seat cushion. In the predetermined seat direction, the seat rings 16 and 18 The bicycle seat cushion tube will have to be positioned longitudinally and, due to the stacking quasi-angle of the seat cushion tube, the lateral force acting on the inner and outer tubes 12 and 14 will point to the center of the sleeve bearing seat rings 16 and 18 Rather than acting on the lateral sides of the seat rings 16 and 18. The present invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art will understand that many changes and modifications can be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present invention. It means that all accompanying changes and modifications are covered within the true spirit and scope of the present invention by the accompanying claims.
